This research focuses on radio frequency (RF) sensors for naval surveillance applications, including surface, shipboard and air. Interest spans the electromagnetic spectrum from HF through mmW, including active and passive, organic as well as distributed RF sensing approaches, including an emphasis on RADAR.
Interest includes, but is not limited to: Sensor and distributed RF architectures Signal sources/waveform generators Sensor thermal and power management Advanced manufacturing approaches Modular open system architecture (MOSA) functional allocation and interfaces Emphasis is on enabling and transitioning affordable solutions satisfying challenging (size, weight and power) SWAP-C constraints without sacrificing advanced performance at RF frequencies from microwave through millimeter wave, in either an organic or distributed approach, and in harsh natural or manmade environments.
Research Concentration Areas Development of wideband, multifunction active aperture arrays Improvement of solid state device parameters including: switching speed, power efficiency, bandwidth, noise, dynamic range, linearity, packaging, miniaturization, assembly and robustness to dense signal environments Advanced signal processing for target detection, tracking and identification Distributed RF sensor approaches Research Challenges and Opportunities Operation in harsh natural and manmade environments Packaging and architectures that support SWAP-C constrained platforms For detailed application and submission information for this research topic, please refer to our broad agency announcement (BAA) No. N0001425SB001 .

NOFO N0001426SF004 offers roughly 25 awards at $750,000 over 36 months to first- and second-appointment faculty. No cost share, no white paper stage — and an eligibility clock that admits PhDs earned on or after January 1, 2019 and nobody earlier. The program officer conversation, not the proposal, is the part most applicants get wrong.
Read articleThe Department of the Navy pre-released FY26 Release 3 SBIR/STTR on June 3, 2026 — 12 BAA topics and one Commercial Solutions Opening for Counter-Unmanned Air Systems. Topics span adaptive sensor management, anomalous behavior detection, satellite imagery optimization, real-time zero-trust data for combat systems, and gun weapon systems modernization. Technical questions cut off June 23. Proposals open June 24 and close July 22. NAVAIR and NAVSEA co-host a Counter-UAS webinar June 16. Phase I funding tops out at $315,000. The CSO open topic for AI-powered drone defense is the structural news: it's the first time NAVAIR has used a CSO vehicle to fund counter-drone work outside the conventional Phase I/II structure, and it changes how small businesses can engage with the Navy's most urgent capability gap.
